I have decided to upgrade my clubs.  I live in Jacksonville, so I visited MasterFit in Orange Park.   The person I talked to in the store said they have been in business for over 20 years.   He showed me the swing monitors, a whole bunch of charts and graphs from the previous fitting session, showing clubhead speed, ball speed, smash factor, the flex in the shaft, so on and so forth.  It appears to be a very professional and experienced fitting company.  The prices seem very reasonable for a set of irons, ranging from around $400 to around $800, depending on what kind of shaft, head, etc. 

Here is my question.    What they sell is their own private label club heads.   They aren't Mizuno, Titleist, etc. clubs.   They are MasterFit clubs. 

Are these private label clubs as good as brand name clubs?

They can be good. But in terms of resale, they won't hold value as much.  Keep that in mind.

Also, ask for names of a couple of people they have fitted for. See what customers say.

Where I once lived in Oklahoma, several of the better local amateurs used private-label clubs made by small shops. Drivers, FW woods and wedges were most popular items done by these shops.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
